Why 55?

Starting in 2011, I plan to write 55 book reviews in a year. More than likely, I will have read more than 55 books each year, but I'm only going to post about the 55 best. I will number the reviews as I go along for easy reference. Check back here after the first of the year and I might have a review up (most likely not until at least the middle of January though). You might ask "why 55?" Well, it's my favorite number and it's the number that my role model wears. I will also try to post the books that I am reading and those that are on my stack of books, but I will only review them if I truly loved them or thought they were really interesting. At the side of this blog, I have my "Grading Scale" of how I rank books. Only 4's and 5's will probably get reviewed. However, the other books I've read since I started this blog (December 19) will be over on the left with their approapriate stars. I would love feedback from you all and if you've written a review about any books mentioned in "55 Books in a Year," feel free to post your link. Also, I might participate in different reading challenges which I will definitely post about. Happy Holidays :)
